the fishmarket on a hot day...
sewage outlet pipe
dockers armpit
fetid seaweed
decomposing whale

That scent player looks like it could induce :chunder:. Are there a market for it? Hope they don't become popular. The other half seems to be happy with the occasional cut flowers in the living room.

 

Could be, in the USA, where it's being released. P&G is pretty hard-nosed about such things, and it clearly believes it could take off. The US market for air fresheners and the like is enormous. I have drafted quite a few patent applications related to improved gadgets for releasing fragrance into the atmosphere.

 

Have you take one back for a home run. What did all the women in your household think? If they think it is a wonderful thing then I will be very worried. Last Christmas some of the staffs took the chance to bring some scents and creams to work for sale. Never seen so many adult women become so excited in one room over smelly creams.

 

tones,
i've got this great idea for scented underpants so that whenever you guff your emmisions are turned from honking 3 day old vindaloo to vanilla or wild berry. there would be a little pouch that could take a scent cartridge to replenish / change the scent... d'you think its a runner?
cheers

No, it's purely a US-only thing, at least at the moment. My womenfolk would be seriously unimpressed. They use perfume only occasionally and the only one that uses (or even owns) makeup in No.1 daughter and then only for her part-time job as a multilingual hostess at the Basel Mustermesse. I'm very happy, it's expensive stuff (except the perfume, which I can get at a knock-down price in the Company shop).

 

With that scenario, Julian, it sounds more as if you're the runner! If you can bring that trick off, you can sign your own ticket with any of the big fragrance houses. Just think of what you'd need:

1. Sensor in the you-know-where to inform the underpants that (a) an, er, emission is about to take place, (b) the nature of this emission, and (c) hopefully the intensity and ETA of the emission.

2. A receiver in the underpants linked to a chemical store and dispenser, plus a computer to control it all ("Three day-old vindaloo? To be camouflaged as vanilla? Righty-ho! we'll need a% of Ingredient 1, b% Ing.3, etc.etc.". Select and inject to plenum chamber").

3. Injection apparatus to fire at ETA into the underpants, directly into the path of the onrushing, er, wind.

I have a suspicion that, in your final version, you'll look like Wallace in "The Wrong Trousers".

 

Julian, if your vindaloo hangs about for three days, consult your GP.
